Videography at Homeacres and edited by Edward Dowding
I’m binge watching all these episodes, there can’t be a nicer bloke on the internet.
😀
This man's way of life is where the world is headed. Don't let the media fool you.
@Dan Driscoll, I agree!
I hit the 👍 button on these videos before I even watch them. Best garden series on the web.
That is nice thanks
Precious Metal Head heartily agree
Ya this is my video channel
Im sorry this is my favorate channel
I mean this channel is so amazing
Charles: "I could then go ahead and show you each tree in turn..."
Me: *grabs cup of tea* Oh, please do!
OHMY GOSH! I love this guy! Charles, your heart and nature is a BLESSING dude! You really have a way of lifting other's spirits by just speaking a few words.... Thanking God for you and your work! Big hugs!
This is kind of you to say, I am just me, happy to help!
@Unconventional Me, I agree with you full heartedly! 💕
Yep, I agree. I love listening to Charles.
The information you so generously share is priceless
Sat in my potting shed, with my brand new wood burning stove next to me ( a roasting 25 degrees ) watching this, whilst drinking a cup of tea. Looking out onto my garden, wondering where I can fit an apple tree. Always hit the like button before the video starts, as I know it’s going to be good.
Merry Christmas to you, and everyone.
How charming! Choose M27 rootstock and consider cordon pruning if space is really tight, even fit in two trees.
Thank you very much for the advice, I’ll be sure to look for the M25 rootstock.
M27!! (M25 is the largest tree)
M27, haha sorry, that could of been a problem in a few years. I’d of been sat under a giant apple tree, thinking I’m sure Charles Dowding said M25.
@@Greentreeanduril hahaha
Thanks for a delightful fruit tour...your green thumb sure extends beyond vegetables! Congrats!
Thank you, Mr. Dowding. You're such a pleasant man and your videos are a real gift.
Always a joy to watch these beautiful videos Mr Dowding. 30 minutes of serenity. Thank you very much and a merry Christmas to you and your family.
Well thankyou
I just said to my boyfriend that it's like watching Bob Ross but with gardening
Quite probably the most informative fruit tree video I’ve ever watched. Eternally grateful for Mr Dowding’s willingness and ability to share his knowledge.
Thanks Tony, maybe a book one day!!
The fruit-growing capital of the world, New Zealand (I've been to South Island 3x) often grows fruit trees very close together, pruning them so they're like a hedge. In fact some NZ websites claim that one can harvest 13,000 lbs of apples off an acre, and when I heard THAT, I planted my fruit trees growing here in the AZ desert, putting another tree in between the ones I had planted 24' apart, so now they're 12' apart. Why? because WATER is the biggest issue, and I don't want to waste a DROP of water in my orchard. I love apples in an orchard because apple juice is easy, and my animals eat the apples, even my Great Pyranees dog ("Tundra") eats them in her breakfast meal, with carrots and eggs. Apple juice is great for cleaning water spots off the sink, especially if it has turned to vinegar. Yours look very marvelous, Charles. When I juice them, the chickens eat the pulp if I can't use it any other way, or my goat, named "Heather".
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing Margaret.
I LOVE that you've shown yearly in the year and then fruiting, this take so much time and effort and I really appreciate it
I appreciate that!
I just LOVE YOU! Thank you for sharing your beautiful connection with the natural world. Parents, take note: This is real, devices are not. Go outside and play!
Thank you so much Stephanie
I simply love your channel! Finally a practical realistic gardening channel for people in the UK!! I cant get enough of your content since i discovered your channel!
Thanks so much 😊 happy to help, share the knowledge
Thank you very much for taking us around your Apple trees.
You are such an awesome educator!!! Love your videos and hope to incorporate all the principles you teach. Love the “ no dig” idea. Please keep sharing!
Thanks v much Nicolette
Thank you Mr. Dowding and I hope you have happy holidays.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Makes picking a new species for our garden easier!
What a sight to behold Charles! We can only hope and work diligently to one day become as acomplished growers as You are. Cheers!
Happy holidays and best wishes in NEW GROWING YEAR!
Wonderful to see your orchard. What a joy to grow apples, pears and plums. I'm in the tropics and surrounded by fruit but it's paradise everywhere.
So funny!
Beautiful voice and interesting tips, thank you Charles.
What a wonderful holiday surprise! Thank you so much for this break from the craziness of the season!
Ah that is a new one, a Christmas antidote! Happy you like it.
Thanks so much for your videos, this one especially since I am planning to plant a bunch of one year old fruit trees next spring.
Thank you for the tour. I too share my fruit with some insects (and squirrels). I am thankful for the bounty.
Fantastic Charles. I have a Jonagold out the back, consistent cropper and a big tree but I know I haven't been pruning it really correctly, now I will!
Really enjoyed this one Charles :) Thank you for the amazing videos you are putting out.
Another great informative vid , I have had a Victoria plum in garden for around 6 years and never had a plum , so the pruning shall start and hopefully next year I’ll be plum happy 😃
Thank you for all your information, really helpful. Wishing you a Happy Christmas, with festive wishes.
Your garden all around is so beautiful. I love your collection of fruit trees. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou Shonita
I am so grateful for my Jakob-Fischer apples, a flavour you cannot buy.
Growing fruit is a good thing to do.
You are really some special kind of person. So interesting. Always look forward to your videos.
Thanks Becky Jo you have made me happy to hear that! Glad you like the videos.
Wow, inspiring. I've got to get more fruit trees in the ground👍
I never knew that apple trees took a year off, sometimes! Wow. Love this series. Absolutely a UA-cam gem.
Many thanks Patricia
Thank you, Mr.Dowding! I love your videos and Ive learned so much from you! Hello from Dickson, Tennessee, USA!
Cheers Marcie :)
How fortunate you are!
What a fantastic video, thank you Charles. Wonderful :) I bet you'd be an amazing fella to sit and have a good chat with, could listen to your expertise all day!
Cheers Haze, I feel privileged to be able to share my experience
Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I learned a lot from you this year and I hope a good growing year for all home growers. Eveline in southern Scotland
Thankyou Eveline and may it be a good year for you
Just a wonderful video Mr.Dowding. I could have watched all day. My little orchard is in its 4th year and i am looking forward to the future.
Thanks and I wish you well for this year's harvests
Thank you. Very interesting. I have a few fruit trees on my allotment which I'm afraid I've neglected a bit so this has given me the encouragement to get them back under control.
great video well done charles have a great christmas
Simply sublime! Sir, you are a wealth of useful information.
Cheers Clint
Beautiful orchard.
Wonderful variety.
Very inspirational.
I'm very excited for spring to come and shop for a few varieties for my farm. Thank you so much.
Hi Dianne, many thanks and enjoy the planting
You give the best information possible. I have not watched a better informative video on fruit tree growing and care.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Your videos are so informative and inspiring. Please keep it up, you are my favourite! From Vancouver, Canada.
Nice of you to say Jonathan
Excellent video guys! Winter pruning tutorial next would be great :)
Great information. I always learn something worthwhile. Root stock sizes are fascinating. We lost an old Apple tree in our yard two years ago and have been looking to replace it, if not just for the flowers the bees love so much.
You have lots of fruit trees Charles, very impressive. I just pruned here so I was very exicited to see your new video. It is so satisfying to grow fruit, watch it come along and then eat it off the tree. Glad to see you do that at the end. My favorite is to go out back when the kids come home, pick the apple and then slice it up for all to enjoy. So rewarding.
Yes what a lovely food to share!
Thank you Charles for explaining about the fruit and other bits it will be very helpful as my tree's develop.
Cheers Fred
Fabulous thank you Charles, my apples are on their second year so this video will come in handy 👍🏻
Nice to hear Helen
Thank you for the tour of your fruit trees. From Central, southern Virginia U.S.A.
Great place! beautiful fruits.
great. Thank you Charles, I understand more about rootstocks now.
💚
Charles you are the best! Thanks from Vancouver Island Canada 👍🏼👍🏼
You are very welcome Ella and thanks
I love your fruit trees. We are putting in an Orchard with a focus on Antique apples.
I wish you well with that Steven
What a wonderful video. I searched hi and low for this information a few years ago and didn’t find anything so helpful and informative. Thanks once again Charles for all your efforts we do appreciate all the knowledge you impart 🙏🏻😊☘️
💚
We did the bad spots out even the worms and eat them, still good. Thank you and have a great day.
Another great informative video, thanks Charles!
I did not know that I needed to cut back on apple production. I have done my summer pruning already so now I will have a look at the apples. I luckily inherited my apple trees through the purchase of my new home so trying to learn as much as I can from you.
Glad it was helpful
Thanks Charles I enjoyed that video a lot.
Beautiful, informative video, love the ending
Man, even your voice is perfect and just so calming.
Ah thanks Farad
Charles Dowding you are so welcome.
I bought a quince seedling from Puglia 8 years ago an this year we had about 10-12 large Quince, probably helped by the drought. Made lovely jelly and jam. Also a great year for Olives
Very informative and enjoyable to see such beautiful fruit trees. I am on my second year this year of only four trees but hope to plant another two or three. Will look forward to watching more of your videos.
Best of luck with that Chris
A good thing from this lockdown, it's led me here. Blows Gardeners World out of the water. Brilliant videos, 100 of them by the way.
Many thanks Davey
These all look delicious.
Thanks Charles, Merry Christmas
You are absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. I was about to go fruit crazy. I realize now I need to plan this out and think about what things will look like in 5 to 8 years.
You are so welcome, and a good plan!
I truly enjoyed this video 🌸
Thank you again for such an informative video. I am planting some fruit trees in the spring here in Ontario Canada and will follow your advice on pruning and thinning the fruit. This journey of growing food at home is made so much easier by hearing your advice and inspiration. Kind regards, Coreen.
Lovely to hear this Coreen, thankyou
First time I've actually understood fruit tree pruning despite numerous books, articles etc. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
You're very welcome 🌈
6 month's in the making this video. Respect Charles
Thanks
You have such a lovely garden!
Incredibly insightful, thank you!
I am contemplating a small orchard in my small backyard as part of redesigning a veg and fruit garden. This was very interesting to me. Thanks!
Wonderful!
So inspiring!
Great vid Charlie lad. Happy new year.
Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you Charles
Glad to hear 🍎
What a heaven garden tour. I have shared this video even with my non-English speaking friend, who loves gardening.
Thanks for sharing Ug :)
Great stuff man. Cheers😊✌
Hello from gardening lover from Thailand, love watching your video. Cheers
Thanks, a lovely country
Love your videos. I hope to see more step by step videos on anything. I am on zone 8 also 🤗
God bless you👍
Many thanks G
Thanks Charles. :) Love the video, I am slowly increasing my fruit tree numbers like you said with small root stock I'm able to get more than what would have been possible previously. Up to 15 fruit trees. :) Planted 10 this Feb. Very excited to see them bloom this year.
Exciting!
I don’t grow fruit, (no space), but boy was it good to see the sunshine!
Love your work Mr D, please keep it going,
Richard
Thanks Richard and I know what you mean!
Single cordons take up no room really.😁😁😁
Merci pour ce joli tour !!! je suis admirative de tout ce que vous faite et de votre méthode pour faire pousser vos plantations ! Je souhaite qu'elle se développe sur toute la planète ! J'adore les pommes c'est mon fruit préféré et vous en avez une telle variété c'est magnifique! Brigitte
Brigitte ca me fait plaisir le lire et oui, j'en mange toujours de ces pommes a Noel
ROFL my mouth watered when he bit into that apple. Thanks for all your knowledge and hard work. I am multi sowing my radishes thanks to you. 4 seeds to a place, 9 places to a square foot. Delicious cherry bell.
Nice feedback thanks
Thank you for removing fear of growing fruit trees! Am in similar zone to yours (8A) in South Carolina USA, where previous commercial apple growers have retired out almost completely. Will take a couple of years, but will soon have the crisp, wonderfully fresh apples I learned to love while growing up near these former orchards. This is an excellent description and example of how to do it on smaller, manageable scale.
Many thanks and may your small orchard flourish!
Johnathan is my favorite apple ever! Essentially the ones that were in Romania. I love fruits and the ones from the store have no taste.
Nice trees, thanks for the tour Charles!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Happy and blessed New Year!
Thankyou Camelia
You are welcome Charles!
Excellent, as usual! So much great information communicated so pleasantly.
Thanks Francis
Charles Dowding - Happy new year! Met you in Germany recently (the Irishman in France) Reworked my beds added new no dig beds, sowed Fava beans and bought a Red Windsor apple tree :-)
@@francishetherton1837 Ah yes I remember you for sure, had just forgotten your name.
So we made a video in French.
Snag is I was less fluent than I had thought!
It releases in a month or so.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig bravo pour la vidéo en français ! Ce n'est pas grave. Les français apprécieront l'effort et adorent les petites fautes qu'ils trouvent charmantes. L'important c'est de communiquer vos idées au jardiniers francophones. Merci
Love the pear trees.
We grow Spartans in southern Ontario 6a and we get a heavy crop most years. Dry seasons can stunt fruit production for a season. Love them.
Nice to hear!
Good review of lots of varieties, I think I'll go looking for the red Windsor!
Thanks for the lovely video just before Christmas Day while giving the feet a rest from cooking and last tidy before all family come tomorrow. Love the information about all your wonderful trees. Makes me wonder what my little trees root stock are now, must find out. Merry Christmas to you and your family from NZ.
Thanks Diane, have a great time
Charles, this vid helped mean lot! We are moving into a 1.2 acre property and I have been snapping pics of your garden and putting the pics in on the property Google map. You are always an encouragement to garden better. It's amazing to me that on our search there are so many 1acre homes and no garden, sad state of affairs humans have got into
Glad it was helpful! Yes strange times
Thanks Charles for all your great information and for being so kind, humble and charming in your videos. This info is much appreciated as I'm planning a row of 8 little fruit trees , as you have done. Wish I had this information before I let our Pear trees grow about 30 foot tall! I don't know what to do about those monsters now; they produce fruit like crazy, but the pears are as hard as a rock and never get soft... my donkeys get to eat all of them...every single year.
Nice to hear Jeri except for the pear trees! I would cut them back hard, unless they are growing where you don't need the space. Sounds like a variety for cooking.
que alegría! no tengo mucho espacio, casi nada.. pero cuanto que estoy aprendiendo y que valioso!! gracias Charles!!!! te envió mucha energía, la mejor.. y los mejores deseos para ti amigo!!!
Muchas gracias 🥬
I just love watching your videos, full of useful information very simply explained with lots of common sense. God bless you for sharing such valuable information not to mention letting us enjoy the beautiful garden of yours which is so uplifting. Also you talk calmly and slowly which helps us armatures to digest the exuberant amount of precious knowledge. A very warm greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Glad you like the videos, and may spring arrive soon for you :)
Superb video as always Charles, merry Christmas and best wishes for 2019 👍🍎🍏🍐
Cheers Ken
Thanks so much for this video. So much valuable information. I have some apple trees, which were here when I moved four years ago, and I knew next to nothing about caring for them, but now I can get started. I had looked up pruning information on the RHS website, but found it daunting! I didn't know about summer pruning. Your vegetable garden is wonderful!
Thanks John, glad you will have a go
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I would love to see a video showing how you deal with pests and diseases on your fruit trees...
I wish, because I suffer pest and disease damage
I truly enjoy your videos! We started planting fruit trees the past 2 years. Currently have 10 apple, 3 peach, 2 plum, 2 pear, 3 cherry and a crabapple. We're hoping for a fruitful season in a few years. As always, truly spectacular video, my friend. Cheers! 🍻

That is awesome Kevin!
